Are Sony PS3 Sales Numbers Flaky?

Smarthouse reports:

Sony Computer Entertainment, who are trying to drum up publicity for the Sony PS3 after SmartHouse revealed that the Company was price gouging Australian consumers by charging up to $103 more for a PS3 in Australia than in the USA, is now trying to claim that that they sold 213,000 PS3s in Australia last year.

However, SmartHouse who was not given the company press release after the company boss Michael Ephraim went on a "rant" over our price gouging story last week believes the numbers could include over 50,000 units that were given away for free by Sony as part of two promotions for Sony Bravia LCD TV's.
